Tom DeLay

Over the course of my congressional career, I have built a voting record that consistently supports limited, constitutional government, peace through strength, lower taxes, and the sanctity of life.My wife Christine and I have a daughter Danielle and became grandparents in 2002 when she and her husband Steve had their first child.We share a deep interest in the circumstances facing abused and neglected children. Christine and I got involved with children's issues after Christine, a teacher, began volunteering as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for children in foster care. Eventually, we became foster parents ourselves. Today, we are outspoken advocates in favor of reforming the present foster care system by making the child's best interest the paramount concern.Since 1984, I have represented the 22nd District of Texas, which includes Brazoria, Fort Bend, Galveston, and Harris Counties.
